Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Nheer]

I this agree with the post above me, I don't think arsenal tried to win that game, I watch the match and first half both teams played very poorly, the chances Arsenal had were never a serious threat to Liverpool defense in any way. I think it was generally a boring match and both teams did not give it their all, Liverpool had some luck to end up winners in the end.

This agree or disagree?

Arsenal must try to win the match, it shouldn't be debated.  
If the players played poorly, it doesn't mean they have no intention to win the game/match. Arsenal players couldn't make a very serious threat, it is probably caused by the strong defense of Liverpool. Liverpool defenders tried to give no chance for Arsenal players to get good opportunities in scoring goals. We must appreciate what have done by Liverpool defenders, they were able to make Arsenal attackers feel frustrated.

The own goal was a lucky goal. But the second goal was a goal made by their efforts. You can't claim Liverpool won the game because of the luck factor.  

I think he meant disagree.

Arsenal tried their best to win the match but their best was simply not enough to penetrate Liverpool’s defense. Arsenal wanted to win because i could see the zeal in them to score but their attack was not as sharp as they used to be, it seems like Saka has lost his confidence and everything seems not to be going his way, without Saka's magic i can say Arsenal will be nowhere to be found because Matinelli can hardly create something for the club and their attack will be weak without any threat.

Liverpool defense was rock solid even without Van Djik, Konate was outstanding and didn’t give any room for Arsenal to penetrate them. I think overall Liverpool was more threatening with the counter attacking style and that was what led them into winning the match.

Mo Salah wants to help his country perform well in the African Cup of Nations, and he will be looking forward to winning the African Cup of Nations this year. Mo Salah's absence will make Liverpool find it difficult to win their matches because there will not be a player like Salah who will be scoring so many goals for Liverpool.

Everyone will see whether Liverpool's performance really gets worse without Mohamed Salah, because currently Liverpool should still be considered a fairly strong team in the Premier League. So that makes their current rivals continue to improve their respective lines of players well enough to be able to catch Liverpool in the upcoming match this week. But this week I think Liverpool will still win because their opponent is not the strongest rival here.

Liverpool credentials for the league is going to be texted for the next one month. Salah has been one of their most performing player and his absence is going to affect the team performance, but I know Klopp is a good manager who can look for an alternative for the team to keep winning games in Salah's absence.

If Liverpool managed to remain at the top of the premier league table till Salah returned from the African Cup of  Nations, Liverpool might end up winning the premier league trophy because Salah's presence would boost their morale to win more of their matches.

Liverpool team is currently in form due to Mohamed Salah, with a unique team in his absence, though wins, but the margin of victory will not be wide. Still, the Liverpool team is roaring past moments, as without Mohamed Salah in the Liverpool team, the Liverpool team seems empty.  Despite the team manager's best efforts, if the right players are not on the field, it will be difficult to win against other teams, or the Liverpool team may lose points.

If Liverpool managed to remain at the top of the premier league table till Salah returned from the African Cup of  Nations, Liverpool might end up winning the premier league trophy because Salah's presence would boost their morale to win more of their matches.

Liverpool continued improvement in performance will not have too big an impact as long as Salah plays for his country in the Africa Cup of Nations. Klopp has drawn up a plan so that his team's performance remains stable even though he is without his mainstay striker, he still has several players who can be relied on to fill the position left by Salah. Liverpool who are leading the EPL standings, will continue to try to maintain their position without the slightest dependence on Salah. They must be able to help each other so that their team can get full points in every game.

Aston Villa who has performed well this season, is a threat to Liverpool. Liverpool's mistakes could have fatal consequences because they are only three points apart. Manchester and Arsenal will also not let Liverpool sit comfortably at the top of the standings, the competition is very competitive so Liverpool must always be able to maintain their position safely with consistent performances.

[SmartCharpa]

This is my take on the EPL at the moment. I think it would be more difficult for Arsenal to battle it out with Manchester City now that City have got all key players back in the team. Arsenal seem to be the ones who have lost their form. Aston Villa are also firing at the moment but I doubt they can maintain the momentum for too long. Liverpool also don’t look like much problem for Manchester City at the moment without Mo Salah. Guardiola obviously have an advantage in the race.

I agree with you, it will be tough for Arsenal to compete against Manchester City in the Premier League. Arsenal has lost form and the chance to win a trophy this season, as Manchester City squad are back to set another record in the league this season. Arsenal has also lost many of the games they were expected to win, and as a result, they are currently eliminated from the FA Cup and EFL Cup. This season, the Premier League is not for Arsenal because of Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Liverpool are strong than them. Arsenal should have hold the opportunity they had from the started of the season, and even in the Champions League, Arsenal will not be able to win it due to the addition of strong teams from other leagues. Liverpool and Manchester City are the only teams I have confidence in to win the Premier League this season.

Mo Salah wants to help his country perform well in the African Cup of Nations, and he will be looking forward to winning the African Cup of Nations this year. Mo Salah's absence will make Liverpool find it difficult to win their matches because there will not be a player like Salah who will be scoring so many goals for Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah has no choice but to travel and support his team since he wants to win the African Cup, but I don't think his absence will cause major challenges for them in winning their games. We cannot say that Liverpool will have a difficult time winning games because Moh Salah is not there. Instead, we should wait and watch their next game to see whether or not Salah's absence will make them to face difficult challenges. Even without him, Liverpool can still perform well in their upcoming games. They still have good attackers left to help them win.

Liverpool credentials for the league is going to be texted for the next one month. Salah has been one of their most performing player and his absence is going to affect the team performance, but I know Klopp is a good manager who can look for an alternative for the team to keep winning games in Salah's absence.

Salah is really the key of Liverpool performance because I wonder how Liverpool would have cope if somebody like Salah is not on the club, perhaps his performance on Liverpool reminds me of Kelvin de Bruyne in Manchester City because the club had a serious challenges in times of performance when he had the injury and it took the club time before they could adapt to his absence, so perhaps that's exactly what Liverpool could face if Salah is not longer on the team.

Actually Liverpool has shown that they are worthy of becoming the premier League champion this season, although during the early time of the season I never believe that Liverpool could go this far because they were not consistent in wining there matches but right now they have understood there goal, however there performance on there match against Arsenal was very impressive and nobody saw it coming because considering Arsenal player from home most persons were thinking that Arsenal will win using home advantage but Liverpool was able to outperform them on there home.

But this week I think Liverpool will still win because their opponent is not the strongest rival here.

Actually for now I think not only Liverpool should be highlighted for losing some of their players to AFCON but there are several other clubs that must have lost some of their players to defend their respective national teams.
But when the focus is only on Liverpool because currently Liverpool's goal machine is only Salah because he is getting good momentum again to make Liverpool's performance better because until now there have been 14 goals that he has managed to record so far.
On the other hand, with the current Asian and African cup conditions, the one who benefits is Manchester City. Apart from their recovered players such as Haaland and KDB, none of Manchester City's players are of African and Asian origin which makes them very profitable in this event because at least they can play with a full squad without worrying now that they can restore lost performance because in December they did not get a good performance.

Salah is important for Liverpool and he becomes more important with them after two other attacking star players Firmino and Mane left. Klopp tried to buy some new attacking star players to replace Mane and Firmino like Diaz, Jota, Nunez but they nearly could not completely replace those star players. They have too much instability in performances, sometimes playing good and sometimes playing bad and they also got injuries like Jota and Diaz.

Salah is a most important player for Liverpool in this season and they are competing for Premier League so it's nearly impossible to see they let Salah go to Saudi Professional League in January. I believe they will keep him in Anfield at least till the summer transfer window.

Actually Liverpool has shown that they are worthy of becoming the premier League champion this season, although during the early time of the season I never believe that Liverpool could go this far because they were not consistent in wining there matches but right now they have understood there goal

With their ambition to win Premier League, they have many reasons to keep Salah tightly in this season. Losing Salah is bad and losing him in middle of season is terrible. It will affect their attacking system operation a lot and in middle of season, it's very hard to find replacement.

[Cryptmuster]

Liverpool continued improvement in performance will not have too big an impact as long as Salah plays for his country in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Liverpool who are leading the EPL standings, will continue to try to maintain their position without the slightest dependence on Salah. They must be able to help each other so that their team can get full points in every game.

Aston Villa who has performed well this season, is a threat to Liverpool. Liverpool's mistakes could have fatal consequences because they are only three points apart. Manchester and Arsenal will also not let Liverpool sit comfortably at the top of the standings, the competition is very competitive so Liverpool must always be able to maintain their position safely with consistent performances.

The teams are moving too close, so mistakes for any team and the top of the table can be fatal for them, several mistakes by Arsenal have shown how they have quickly dropped down the table and are already 5 points behind Liverpool, and just one point ahead of Tottenham, who are behind them. Aston Villa have surprised many this season, they started well (apart from losing to Newcastle 1-5) but I didn't think they could fight with Liverpool and City for the title.

[ancafe]

Yeah at least that's what we think but after watching how Liverpool beat Arsenal a few days ago in the FA Cup match then we can conclude that Klopp already has another strategy when playing without Mo Salah and it's quite effective. I think Liverpool can still compete with other top teams even without Mo Salah, unless they play against Manchester City well here Mo Salah role is really needed to balance Manchester City's game. In the next match Liverpool will play against Bournemouth and I think Liverpool will play without any problems pretty sure 3 points can be earned, Liverpool's only obstacle is a busy schedule which has an impact on the player's stamina.

Liverpool have a number of players who can fill the void when Mo Salah cannot play and you are right Jurgen Klopp has proven that against Arsenal. But even so, Liverpool still really needs Mo Salah in big matches because his presence can be a threat to the opponent's defense so that other players such as Gakpo, Nunez or Diaz have more freedom to score goals. Mo Salah can be a player who makes the opponent's defense a little more troublesome and of course he is given extra guard so that he is not free to pose a threat.

The next match will be a little tougher because Bournemouth have been outstanding in the last five matches and they have only lost once against Tottenham. Liverpool must maintain a positive trend if they don't want Aston Villa or Manchester City to catch up on their points and Liverpool must win this match.

[rendravolt]

Erik Ten Hag, when asked about the possibility of loaning players in the January window, said that currently this is still under consideration and is of course what is best for the team. Maybe what is meant here is that Erik Ten Hag wants to see the development of his players first and also wait to see whether players who have just recovered from injuries such as Casemiro or Mount can be a stable option for the Red Devils' midfield.

Maybe if this is not possible then Erik Ten Hag will make the decision to transfer players again with a loan option. This is necessary to maintain their chances of moving up to a better position and having a good record at the end of the season. I think this cannot be ignored and must be a focus that needs to be realized.

Haaland's injury seems to be making Man City difficult. Since losing against Aston Villa, Haaland has not appeared. This makes Man City weak, and if it doesn't improve soon it might make it difficult for Man City to compete in the UCL or in the EPL. Man city has not found a player who can replace Haaland at this time. Although indeed in several matches Man City always won after Haaland was injured against Aston Villa.

[knowngunman]

They did really struggle converting chances as they had a whopping 33 shots taken and 14 of them were on target. They managed to score only 2 out of those 14. Some may say you got lucky and other say it's a calculated risk. Anyways, congrats on the win. Manchester United play Tottenham Hotspurs at Old Trafford next. Spurs are still struggling defensively with all the injuries in their team and them not having any primary center back in their team. They have surprisingly done okay without a CB so far but against better teams, that could be exposed. Should be a good match regardless.

Honestly two goals with over thirty five attempts on goal shows that there is no improvement up front. It was a good win with a very poor performance against a weaker team. Much work is need to be done to improve the finishing because something is obviously lacking in their finishing. If this is how they are going to play against Tottenham, I'm afraid to say a loss await them especially if they keep playing Rashford with that his sloppy pass attitude. The guy always trying to dribble near post and end up wasting the chances.

To be frank, Mainoo is the only impressive player in that match. The boy is still young but he would become a big asset to Manchester united if he should continue like that. He's very skillful, intelligent, strong and knows how to position himself very well. As for McTominay, I don't even know what the dude is suffering from because I still can't believe how one person can miss more than four chances in a single game.

Those who felt the Asian and African Cup events the most were Liverpool and Tottenham. Both teams happen to be strengthened by players who are very good for their teams. Liverpool will miss Salah for the Africa Cup of Nations. Tottenham will soon be left behind in the Asian Cup.

Mohammad Salah has scored 14 goals. Is in first place on the list of top scorers, and has the same 14 goals as Haland (Man. City). I concluded that in the end only teams that have good coverings will survive in the league, if Liverpool hopes too much from Salah then Liverpool will not stay at the top of the EPL league. But I think this is Kloop's job at Liverpool. He must be smart in filling the gaps in important players so that he remains productive in scoring goals. We'll see whether Liverpool can stay at the top or even lose points if they play without Salah.

In fact, if M. Salah is absent for only one match then it is not a problem for Liverpool. But the problem here is that M. Salah will most likely be absent from Liverpool for 4 matches or more, namely until the African Cup of Nations is over. It depends on how the national team played by M. Salah performs whether it will go further or not. If the Egyptian national team progresses further there, M. Salah will definitely be absent for longer. It could even be up to 7 or 8 matches at once. This is a big problem for Klopp. He must be confused right now. Because without players who are able to be the sharp spearhead, a team will have difficulty scoring goals. But Liverpool doesn't just depend on M. Salah so Klopp will definitely come up with a solution for this. Because he is a coach who has a lot of experience. So he often faces situations like this.

I think he meant disagree.

Arsenal tried their best to win the match but their best was simply not enough to penetrate Liverpool’s defense. Arsenal wanted to win because i could see the zeal in them to score but their attack was not as sharp as they used to be, it seems like Saka has lost his confidence and everything seems not to be going his way, without Saka's magic i can say Arsenal will be nowhere to be found because Matinelli can hardly create something for the club and their attack will be weak without any threat.

Liverpool defense was rock solid even without Van Djik, Konate was outstanding and didn’t give any room for Arsenal to penetrate them. I think overall Liverpool was more threatening with the counter attacking style and that was what led them into winning the match.

It was great to have this game Arsenal against Liverpool as it was really a highlight I was looking forward to. But obviously everyone knew that after the game we will have one top team end up as the loser and being out of the FA Cup. That was the bad thing about this draw. But it doesn't matter which team lost this game, discussions would have arisen either way. But I think if Liverpool would have gotten defeated, maybe people would be lenient because they had an excuse that Salah was out of the game. But well, now the competition goes on without Arsenal and it will still be fun to follow it.

[temple]

But against Liverpool the game took a direction that couldn't be predicted during the game. I think the goal against Arsenal after 80 minutes was brutal as it was an own goal when Arsenal themselvses had their chances to take the lead and instead they put the ball in the back of the net in their own goal. That's tough.

The second goal scored by Diaz was probably not even necessary anymore, but I am sure that this was one of those wins that Klopp enjoy in a very special way.

We can say that Liverpool was quite lucky that they could have 2 goals. The first goal is an own goal made by Jakub Kiwior (Arsenal player). Another goal was made in the injury time (90+5'). If there is no own goal, Arsenal players may have a better chance to score goals. Luckily, Arsenal player made a mistake, the own goal happened, it dropped their mentality.

It may be not really important goal anymore but it make Liverpool to ensure their win. By scoring another goal, Liverpool didn't win the match by getting an own goal only. At least Liverpool could score 1 goal from their own players.

True, but in some cases I think it is fair to say that a team worked hard for their luck. So there are teams that get really lucky and score like three lucky goals in a game while having no chance otherwise and the opponent hit the post like ten times. Then that's an overall lucky game. But Liverpool isn't a weak team, they are still a deserved winner when a game doesn't go perfectly well for them.

An own goal is never really fair although it depends what kind of goal it was. If it was a classic own goal because of a stupid move or decision, that's unlucky. But some goals are deemed own goals when it was almost impossible for the defender to pull back. It is still an own goal. In this situation the header wasn't the smartest thing to do.

But Liverpool hit the post just minutes before the first goal. I think it's ok how this game ended.

Arsenal attack were not good but now suddenly they are on decline which is surely hurting them badly with they need to fix this quickly if they want to have better results in remaining season with now we are heading for the toughest time of season and all top teams are doing their best Jürgen Klopp is surely one of the best man on duty and learning from his mistakes his attack and defense both are doing their best which is helping them to have good success, and now they are in four competitions with chances they can win trophies as much they can with their current level of performance.

Arsenal try their best to score any goal, but Liverpool were strict, and they never allow to them having any fair chance for the scoring goal at home Liverpool which is surely one of the fiercest club in English Premier League now looking at his best and their players like Van Djik and Konate having enough quality to stop any team with their experience and ability to control.

Salah has been one of their most performing player and his absence is going to affect the team performance, but I know Klopp is a good manager who can look for an alternative for the team to keep winning games in Salah's absence.

I'm not sure Liverpool will still perform well even without Moh Salah because Moh Salah is Liverpool's key player in achieving victory and recently Moh Salah has increased his total goals and matched Haaland, even though Kloop is an experienced coach, Salah's presence is still important for the team, but If it really is urgent and Moh Salah is forced to leave Liverpool, it can't be helped, Kloop will definitely think of other options so that Liverpool continues to perform well without his presence.
But looking at Liverpool's last match against Arsenal away without Moh Salah, Liverpool could still win it, either because they were lucky or because Liverpool still tried hard to win, but hopefully this is not just luck and Liverpool will be fine without Salah.

[wiss19]

It was a very easy fixture for Manchester United. It was obvious they were going to win that game. I predicted a win and under 4.5 goals in that game because I have noticed Manchester United finds it difficult to convert chances and Wigan was never going to come like an underdog.

On a better day Manchester United would have scored more than 5 goals but I think yesterday wasn’t the day. They missed a lot of chances and dominated the whole game with a high possession. Clubs like Manchester City and Tottenham would have scored more than 5 goals yesterday. Even in the second half, Manchester United were less convincing. Much of the urgency and purpose evaporated from their play. Still, though, they could have extended their lead with better finishing, but failed.

They did really struggle converting chances as they had a whopping 33 shots taken and 14 of them were on target. They managed to score only 2 out of those 14. Some may say you got lucky and other say it's a calculated risk. Anyways, congrats on the win. Manchester United play Tottenham Hotspurs at Old Trafford next. Spurs are still struggling defensively with all the injuries in their team and them not having any primary center back in their team. They have surprisingly done okay without a CB so far but against better teams, that could be exposed. Should be a good match regardless.

All stats clearly showing Manchester United was much superior side, and they deserve good and big win but sadly due to their inconsistency and poor strategy they fail to score more goals and have won with the score of 0–2 against Wigan with one goal was scored on penalty by Fernandes with these stats and result it's clearly showing they need more improvement if they want to have better results in coming matches otherwise they can go down and things can go from bad to worse for them in last 10 games they have just 3 wins with 1 draw and 6 loses mean they are down and out with have some time to bring themselves back into better shape.

Next few matches are going to be tough for them with Tottenham at home Wolves away and West Ham at home these will give all how their season is going to be ended with can they produce another good end or misery will be going, and they have to go for more changes in coming season for the better result.
